Colorado Springs police got a call from a local 7-11 last night after a masked man robbed the clerk while waving a Bat’leth, a sword used by the Klingons on Star Trek. Inspired by his success, the robber hit up another 7-11 a half hour later—only this time, the employee refused to give him any cash. Instead of decapitating the impudent Slurpee jockey, the trekkie left on foot, possibly never to be seen again.
Despite their value in finding criminals, authorities have no plans to release the store’s security tapes. Are they afraid of copycats? Check out the Bat’leth battle clip above and ask yourself: if someone came at you with one of these things, would you give them your cash or fight?

I’l check with all my nerd friends (including WOW players and Trekies). They should have some leads.
